Abstract
Squire Brown informs the court that Henry Brown "had formerly owned your petitioner for some six or eight years ... & during the time he so owned your petitioner hired out your petitioner to work in the County of St Clair State of Illinois at various times between the years 1839 & 1841." The petitioner notes that Charles R. Anderson purchased him in May 1841 and now claims him as his slave. Squire Brown therefore "prays that he may have leave to sue as a poor person in order to establish his right to freedom."
Result: Petition granted; plea of trespass filed.
